2 Samuel 15

1 And after this Absalom began to furnish himself with a chariot and horses, and fifty men to run before him.

Na, muri iho i tenei ka mea hariata a Apoharama mona, me etahi hoiho, me nga tangata e rima tekau hei rere i tona aroaro.

2 And Absalom used to get up early and stand beside the road. Then when anyone had a dispute which should come to the king for judgment, then Absalom would call out to him and say, "What city are you from?" When he said, "Your servant is from one of the tribes of Israel,"

Na ka maranga wawe a Apoharama, a ka tu ki te taha o te huarahi, ki te kuwaha, na ki te mea he take ta tetahi tangata e tika ana kia tae ki te kingi kia whakaritea, ka karanga a Apoharama ki a ia, ka mea, No tehea pa koe? A ka pea tera, No tetahi o nga iwi o Iharaira tau pononga.

3 then Absalom would say to him, "Look, your matters are good and right; but there is no one from the king to hear you."

Na ka mea a Apoharama ki a ia, Nana, he pai au korero, he tika; heoi kahore he tangata a te kingi hei whakarongo ki a koe.

4 And Absalom would say, "Oh that I were made judge in the land, then anyone who had a dispute could come to me, and I would give him justice."

I mea ano a Apoharama, Aue, me i tu ahau hei kaiwhakarite mo te whenua, a ka tae mai ki ahau nga tangata katoa he take nei ta ratou, he whakawa, ina ka whakarite tika ahau ki a ia!

5 It was so, that when any man came near to do him obeisance, he would extend his hand and embrace him, and kiss him.

Na ka whakatata mai he tangata ka piko ki a ia, na ka totoro tona ringa ka hopu i a ia, ka kihi i a ia.

6 Absalom did this sort of thing to all Israel who came to the king for judgment. So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.

Penei tonu te mahi a Apoharama ki a Iharaira katoa, i haere mai ki te kingi kia whakaritea he whakawa; na tahaetia ana e Apoharama nga ngakau o nga tangata o Iharaira.

7 It happened at the end of forty years, that Absalom said to the king, "Please let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to the LORD, in Hebron.

Na, ka pau nga tau e wha, ka mea a Apoharama ki te kingi, Tukua ahau kia haere ki te whakamana i aku kupu taurangi, ki Heperona, i puaki ra i ahau ki a Ihowa.

8 For your servant vowed a vow while I stayed at Geshur in Aram, saying, 'If the LORD will bring me back to Jerusalem, then I will serve the LORD in Hebron.'"

I puaki hoki te kupu taurangi a tau pononga i ahau e noho ana i Kehuru i Hiria; i mea ahau, Ki te whakahokia ahau e Ihowa ki Hiruharama, katahi ahau ka mahi ki a Ihowa.

9 The king said to him, "Go in peace." So he arose, and went to Hebron.

Na ka mea te kingi ki a ia, Haere marie. Na whakatika ana ia, a haere ana ki Heperona.

10 But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, "As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then you shall say, 'Absalom is king in Hebron.'"

Otiia ka tono tutei a Apoharama puta noa i nga iwi katoa o Iharaira, hei mea, Rongo kau koutou i te tangi o te tetere, ko reira koutou ka mea, Ko Apoharama te kingi kei Heperona.

11 Two hundred men went with Absalom out of Jerusalem, who were invited, and went in their simplicity; and they did not know anything.

E rua rau ano nga tangata i haere tahi i a Apoharama i Hiruharama, he hunga i karangatia: otiia he haere noa ta ratou, kihai hoki i mohio ki tetahi mea.

12 And he sent and invited Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's counselor, from his city Giloh, where he was offering sacrifice. The conspiracy was strong, for the people increased continually with Absalom.

I tikina ano e Apoharama a Ahitopere Kironi, te kaiwhakatakoto whakaaro a Rawiri i tona pa i Kiroho, i a ia ano e patu ana i nga patunga tapu. Na kua kaha te whakapiko; i tini haere hoki nga tangata a Apoharama.

13 A messenger came to David, saying, "The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom."

Na ko te taenga o tetahi kaikorero ki a Rawiri, ko tana kupu, Kei te whai i a Apoharama nga ngakau o nga tangata o Iharaira.

14 So David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, "Arise, and let us flee, otherwise none of us shall escape from Absalom. Go immediately, or else he will quickly overtake us and bring down the city on top of us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword."

Na ka mea a Rawiri ki ana tangata katoa i tona taha i Hiruharama, Whakatika, ka rere tatou; kei kore hoki he mawhititanga atu mo tetahi o tatou i te aroaro o Apoharama: hohoro te haere, kei hohoro mai ia, a ka mau tatou; na ka akina mai e ia he kino ki a tatou, a ka tukitukia te pa ki te mata o te hoari.

15 Then the king's servants said to him, "Look, your servants are ready to do whatever the king chooses."

Na ka mea nga tangata a te kingi ki te kingi, Tenei au pononga hei mea i nga mea katoa e whakarite ai toku ariki, te kingi.

16 And the king went out with all his household following him. But the king left ten women, who were secondary wives, to take care of the palace.

Na haere ana te kingi me tona whare katoa i muri i a ia. Na i mahue i te kingi tekau nga wahine, he wahine iti nana, hei tiaki i te whare.

17 So the king went out with all his servants following him, and they stopped at the last house.

A haere ana te kingi ratou ko te iwi katoa i muri i a ia, a whanga ana i Petemerehaka.

18 And all the people passed on before him. And all those with him, all the officers and warriors, were six hundred men, and they passed on before him. And when all the Cherethites and all the Pelethites and all the Gittites who followed him from Gath passed on before the king.

I haere atu ano ana tangata katoa i tona taha; i haere atu ano hoki i mua i te kingi, nga Kereti katoa, nga Pereti katoa, me nga Kiti katoa; nga rau e ono i whai mai nei i a ia i Kata.

19 Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, "Why do you also go with us? Go back and stay with the king, for you are a foreigner and you also are an exile from your place.

Na ka mea te kingi ki a Itai Kiti, He aha koe i haere mai ai i a matou? hoki atu, e noho i te kingi: he tangata ke hoki koe, he noho ke i tou whenua.

20 You came only yesterday. Should I today make you wander about with us, since I go I know not where? Go back, and take your brothers with you, and may the LORD show you kindness and truth."

Nonanahi noa nei koe i tae mai ai, a kia mea ahau i a koe i tenei ra kia kopikopiko noa iho i a matou, i taku haere noa atu? Hoki atu, whakahokia ano ou teina; kia whai tahi te pono me te aroha i a koe.

21 Ittai answered the king, and said, "As the LORD lives, and as my lord the king lives, surely in what place my lord shall be, whether for death or for life, even there also will your servant be."

Na ka whakahoki a Itai ki te kingi, ka mea, E ora ana a Ihowa, e ora ana hoki toku ariki te kingi, na, ko te wahi e noho ai toku ariki, te kingi, ahakoa i te mate, ahakoa i te ora, ko reira ano tau pononga.

22 So David said to Ittai, "Go and pass over." Then Ittai passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones who were with him.

Ano ra ko Rawiri ki a Itai, Hoatu, whiti atu. Na whiti ana a Itai Kiti, ratou ko ana tangata katoa me nga tamariki katoa i a ia.

23 And all the land wept aloud as all the people crossed over. And the king crossed the Wadi Kidron, and all the people passed before him on the Olive road into the wilderness.

Nui atu hoki te reo i tangi ai te whenua katoa, a ka whiti atu te iwi katoa; i whiti atu hoki te kingi i te awaawa o Kitirono, a i whiti atu ano te iwi katoa i te huarahi e tika ana ki te koraha.

24 And look, Zadok also came (and all the Levites with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of the LORD) and Abiathar. And they set down the ark of God until all the people finished passing by from the city.

Ko Haroko ano tera, me nga Riwaiti katoa e amo ana i te aaka o te kawenata a te Atua: na ka whakatakotoria te aaka a te Atua; na ka piki a Apiatara, a poto noa te iwi katoa te whiti atu i roto i te pa.

25 The king said to Zadok, "Return the ark of God to the city. If I find favor in the eyes of the LORD, he will bring me back and show me both it and his dwelling place;

Na ka mea te kingi ki a Haroko, Whakahokia te aaka a te Atua ki te pa: ki te manakohia ahau e Ihowa, ka whakahokia ahau, a ka whakakitea taua aaka me tona nohoanga ki ahau.

26 but if he should say, 'I have no delight in you;' look, here I am. Let him do to me as seems good to him."

A ki te mea ia ki ahau, Kahore ahau e pai ki a koe; tenei ahau, mana e mea ki ahau te mea e pai ana ki tana titiro.

27 And the king said also to Zadok the cohen, "Look, you return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz your son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.

I mea ano te kingi ki a Haroko tohunga, Ehara ianei koe i te matakite? hoki marie ki te pa, koutou ko a korua tama tokorua, ara tau tama a Ahimaata, me Honatana tama a Apiatara.

28 Look, I will wait at the fords of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me."

Nana, me tatari ahau ki nga kauanga i te koraha, kia tae ake ra ano he korero i a korua hei whakaatu tikanga ki ahau.

29 So Zadok and Abiathar carried the ark to Jerusalem and returned it there.

Na whakahokia ana te aaka a te Atua e Haroko raua ko Apiatara ki Hiruharama, a noho ana raua i reira.

30 And David went up by the Ascent of the Olives, and wept as he went, and he had his head covered and went barefoot. And all the people who were with him covered their heads, and they went up weeping as they went.

Na piki atu ana a Rawiri i te pikitanga o Maunga Oriwa, me te tangi, me te piki haere; hipoki rawa tona matenga, kahore hoki ona hu i a ia e haere ana: na, ko nga tangata katoa i a ia, hipoki rawa te matenga o tenei, o tenei; heoi piki ana ratou, me te tangi ano i a ratou e piki ana.

31 And it had been told to David, saying, "Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom." David said, "LORD, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness."

Na ka korero tetahi ki a Rawiri, ka mea, Kei roto a Ahitopere i nga kaiwhakatupu i te he, kei a Apoharama. Na ka mea a Rawiri, Tena ra, e Ihowa, whakakuwaretia nga whakaaro o Ahitopere.

32 It happened that when David had come to the top, where God was worshiped, look, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat torn, and earth on his head.

A, no te ekenga o Rawiri ki te tihi, ki te wahi e koropiko ai ki te Atua, na, ko Huhai Araki ka whakatau i a ia, he mea haehae tona kakahu, me te oneone i runga i tona matenga.

33 David said to him, "If you pass on with me, then you will be a burden to me;

Na ka mea a Rawiri ki a ia, Ki te haere tahi tatou, hei whakaware kau koe ki ahau:

34 but if you return to the city, and tell Absalom, 'Your brothers have left, O king, after your father left, and now I am your servant, O king. Allow me to live. As I have been your father's servant in the past, so now I am your servant,' then you will defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel.

Engari ki te hoki koe ki te pa, a ka mea ki a Apoharama, Hei pononga ahau mau, e te kingi, he pononga ahau na tou papa i mua, inaianei hei pononga ahau mau: penei mau e whakataka te whakaaro o Ahitopere moku.

35 And look, Zadok and Abiathar the cohanim will be there with you. So whatever you hear from the king's house you must tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the cohanim.

Kahore ianei i reira hei hoa mou a Haroko raua ko Apiatara nga tohunga? na, ko nga mea katoa e rongo ai koe ki te whare o te kingi, mau e whakaatu ki nga tohunga, ki a Haroko raua ko Apiatara.

36 Look, their two sons are with them there, Ahimaaz, Zadok's son, and Jonathan, Abiathar's son. And by them you must send to me everything that you hear."

Na kei reira, kei a raua tonu a raua tama tokorua, a Ahimaata, ta Haroko, a Honatana, ta Apiatara; me unga hei kawe mai ki ahau i nga mea katoa e rongo ai koutou.

37 So Hushai, David's friend, came into the city; and Absalom came into Jerusalem.

Na haere ana a Huhai, te hoa o Rawiri ki te pa, a ka tae hoki a Apoharama ki Hiruharama.
